A research experiment was conducted at the ICAR-Indian Institute of Water Management, Bhubaneswar to investigate the growth performance of Aloe vera under different irrigation and nitrogen treatments. The results revealed that with the increase in frequency of irrigation (from irrigation interval of 14 days to 7 days), the plant height, number of leaves, mature leaf length, leaf breadth, leaf weight, leaf area and total leaf weight of Aloe vera have shown a significant increase. This has also resulted in significantly higher dry matter production and crop growth rate at higher frequency of irrigation. In case of nitrogen treatments, the plant height, number of leaves, mature leaf length, leaf breadth, leaf weight, leaf area, total leaf weight and dry matter accumulation of Aloe vera were found to be superior when vermicompost was applied as a source of nitrogen fertilizer compared to that of chemical (urea) fertilizer and control treatment (no fertilizer).
